Strangeway - Deep Purple

Strange ways

Strange

Strange

I was born into confusion

My mother said to me

When you become a man you'll understand

But it's still a mystery

And if you want to get ahead

Get some decent clothes

The only way to make it

Dress the part that gets right up my nose

And I think to myself in this river of doubt

This is something I can do without

But, strange ways is what I got

Strange ways

The Indians are coming

I saw it on TV

They're twenty thousand strong

But they always get depleted by the cavalry

Salvation is at hand

It's guaranteed

Just send a donation straight to God

One eight hundred, toll free

And I think to myself in this academy of fear

Where am I going, what am I doing here?

But strange ways is all I got

Strange ways

Aaa, aaa

Aaa, aaa

Aaa, aaa

Have you seen the headlines?

Princess engaged

Three million out of work

But that's on the second page

The alien has landed

Finger in his ear

Can't hear a word I am saying

But that isn't such a bad idea

And I think to myself in this cradle of lust

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust

But strange ways is all you get

Strange ways
